The juror for paintings is Jamie Williams Grossman and the juror for photography is Christina Falise.

Jamie Williams Grossman is a Signature Member and former Chairman of New York Plein Air Painters, and current Leader of their Lower Hudson Valley Chapter of over 375 artists. Jamie paints mostly in oil and acrylic, but frequently uses other media such as watercolor, gouache, pastel, printmaking, and pen and ink and usually out in nature. “Standing in the midst of nature’s sights and sounds, and attempting to capture the experience in paint, is food for my soul” says Grossman. Her teachers in all media are among the most well-known artists of our time, including Marc Hanson, Kenn Backhaus, Alvaro Castagnet, Charles Reid, David Dunlop, David Taylor, Wende Caporale-Greene, Alan Reingold and Rae Smith. She has taught painting workshops, been featured in many magazines, and won prestigious recognition for her work. Her versatility has led artists, retailers and manufacturers to seek out her advice for technique and product testing. A sample of her work can be seen at HudsonValleyPainter.com.

She earned her BA in photography from Hampshire College in Amherst, MA, continuing with graduate studies at NYU/International Center of Photography.

She works in both film and digital formats, specializing in fine art photography. “With my camera, I want to share moments of time – images of nature, life and the places we live” says Falise.
